What are the humidity levels like in the enclosure? Misting won't do much good if the cage doesn't hold the humidity in. How is it eating for you? Sounds like a difficult shed coming, or stuck shed, but hard to say for sure. I would place it in a small container or deli cup with wet paper towels, and leave the container in its cage where it is warm, for about 6 hours. I would be more comfortable doing this if it is eating well though, but hasn't eaten within the last few days. I received an animal like this once and had to shed it manually, like peeling a banana, but would avoid that if at all possible.

Good luck,
Bart
